Carter struck again, only for Shinon to repeat the same manoeuvre to make his attack useless.
Carter's eyes widened in surprise, a flicker of annoyance momentarily crossing his face. But it was swiftly replaced by a steely determination. He wasn't about to be deterred by a couple of setbacks.
"Impressive," Carter acknowledged, his tone laced with competitiveness. "But let's see if you can handle this."
With a flurry, Carter unleashed a series of swift strikes, his whip crackling through the air like lightning. Each lash was imbued with a surge of power, seeking to test Shinon's abilities to their limits.
Shinon moved with agility and precision, his shadow-woven shield deflecting the onslaught deftly. He evaded the strikes with calculated grace, his movements fluid and controlled.
The clash between their powers became a mesmerising dance of light and shadow. Each move was a testament to their skill and determination.
